“For a short stay”
The hotel is VERY isolated - 10k to only village on island over mainly dirt track. The free shuttle boat at 12.30 from the hotel is good, but brings you back a 5.30pm so you cannot go to the restaurants or bars in the village or surrounds in the evening unless you want to pay a lot for a taxi back. There are no beach bars or restaurants other than those at the hotel, so you are restricted - however, the food is good, varied and not too expensive - hence the reason for a short stay only. We were there for 2 weeks and it was about 1 week too long! Check the tide tables in hotel reception so that you know when you can swim in the sea, because the 2 daily tides (as usual worldwide!) do go out a VERY long way and leave a rather mucky beach behind, but there is still plenty of space for sunbathing etc. Don't bother with snorkeling gear, the water is usually too cloudy! There is a nice pool, which is shady and cool, so we didn't find this too much of a problem. The rooms are very nice, spacious and well laid out, as were the grounds. The staff were friendly, but very laid back! We waited about 15mins for coffee one morning! All in all we enjoyed it, but would not return - we enjoy getting out and about a bit, but that was really only possible with hotel arranged excursions which are expensive, as is the spa.
